Welcome to the Natural Language Processing (NLP) tutorial section! This guide explores how to leverage Python's powerful libraries to build NLP applications, from basics to advanced techniques. Let's dive in!

🧠 What is NLP?

Natural Language Processing is the intersection of linguistics and computer science, enabling machines to understand, interpret, and generate human language. Python, with its rich ecosystem, is a preferred choice for NLP tasks due to frameworks like spaCy, NLTK, and Transformers.

📚 Getting Started

  1. Install Libraries: Begin with essential packages like nltk, spaCy, or transformers 
    pip install nltk spacy transformers
  2. Tokenization: Split text into words, phrases, or symbols 
    from spacy.lang.en import English
nlp = English()
doc = nlp("Hello, world! This is a test.")
  3. Text Preprocessing: Clean and normalize data for analysis
    • Remove stopwords
    • Lemmatization
    • Stemming

🧰 Practical Applications

  • Sentiment Analysis: Use TextBlob or VADER for emotion detection
  • Named Entity Recognition (NER): Identify people, locations, and organizations
  • Chatbots: Build with Rasa or ChatterBot
  • Language Translation: Try Google Translate API or Hugging Face models
